SASSA (South African Social Security Agency) and the R350 grant were part of a temporary social relief measure introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa.

• The R350 grant, officially known as the Special COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, was introduced to provide financial support to individuals who were unemployed and did not receive any other form of social grant or income support. It aimed to assist those who were most affected by the economic impact of the pandemic.
• Initially, the R350 grant was intended to be paid for a period of six months from May 2020 to October 2020. However, due to the ongoing effects of the pandemic, the grant was extended several times.
• It's important to note that the availability and details of the R350 grant are subject to change, as it was implemented as a temporary measure. Therefore, for the most accurate and up-to-date information about the R350 grant and its current status, it is advisable to visit the official SASSA website, contact the SASSA helpline, or inquire at a local SASSA office.

SASSA, as the implementing agency, was responsible for processing and administering the R350 grant applications and payments. They set the eligibility criteria, managed the application process, and coordinated the disbursement of funds to eligible applicants.
